00:03We all care about Todd, don't we?
00:06We love him.
00:08Which is why I've asked you all to come here.
00:12He's not in a good place.
00:13No.
00:14I mean, it's no wonder with the police still out looking for Theo's killer.
00:17Are we going to hold a seance?
00:20Ask the spirits for guidance!
00:23Last time I heard, you were suspect number one.
00:25Excuse me. He's been cleared of all involvement.
00:28Thank goodness.
00:29Technically, I am still a person of interest.
00:32Just not very interested.
00:33Guys, can you just get back to why we're here, please, for Todd?
00:36Sorry.
00:37Yeah, I'm worried about him.
00:39Yeah, we all are.
00:40Which is why I think we all need to join forces.
00:42Look after him.
00:43Good idea.
00:44So, what are you suggesting we do?
00:46Well, I think that one of us needs to be with him at all times.
00:49We can't watch him 24-7.
00:51I know, but George is right. He's all over the place.
00:53You'd have thought he'd be jumping for joy.
00:55The man who abused him is dead.
00:56Not as simple as that, though, is it?
00:59No, it isn't.
01:00You had a nice chat about me behind my back.
01:03Todd, we're just worried about you.
01:04So, you thought what? You'd hatch a babysitting plan?
01:07No!
01:08Well, maybe.
01:09You want to keep an eye on me, because you're worried that...
01:12I'll work out who killed him.
01:14Is it like murder on the Orient Express?
01:16You all did it!
01:17Don't be ridiculous.
01:18Ridiculous, am I?
01:20Nice.
01:21No, he didn't mean it like that.
01:28Yeah, no, it's not in the kitchen.
01:29I'll just check that back of the sofa.
01:32Oh!
01:32Got it!
01:33Right, OK, I'll drop it into the salad.
01:36Oh, you know, I could nick it, like, when we first met.
01:38Hee-hee.
01:39Oh, no, yeah, true.
01:40You do know where I live now.
01:41All right, OK.
01:43Well, I'll see you in a bit.
01:44Bye.
01:47Jodie!
01:49What happened?
01:50We've been so worried about you.
01:52They kidnapped me.
01:56Take it from your demeanour, it didn't go well.
01:59Suspended.
02:00Pending further investigation.
02:02Oh, dear.
02:03Croshaw says she's sorry, but her hands are tied, so...
02:07Well, maybe it's for the best.
02:09I'm not sure you're in the right frame of mind to be teaching at the moment.
02:13Well, she said the same, but it's total rubbish.
02:14I should be allowed to work.
02:16Liz is guilty until proven innocent.
02:18No, he isn't.
02:19It'll look like that to the kids.
02:20It doesn't matter what the kids think.
02:21Of course it matters what they think.
02:23They need to know that I haven't done anything wrong.
02:25This looks like I'm being punished.
02:27Daniel, just listen to yourself.
02:29You're full of anger.
02:30Peter, I'm not surprised.
02:33Why don't you go away for a few days?
02:35We can look after Bertie.
02:37Dad, I don't want to go away.
02:40I want to be able to live my life and be normal,
02:42but nobody will let me, including you.
02:44At least think about it.
02:46Go for a walk.
02:47Clear your head.
02:49I'll pick up Bertie.
02:50No, no.
02:51I insist.
02:54Fine, fine, fine, fine.
02:56I'll put my hands perfectly clear.
03:02You were kept in a lock-up.
03:04Where?
03:06No idea.
03:08They put a bag over my head.
03:11I was tied up the whole time.
03:13I don't get why they came back, though.
03:15I mean, you gave them the USB stick.
03:16I was there.
03:18I know.
03:20They, um...
03:21They said they thought I must have other evidence.
03:23But you don't.
03:24No.
03:26When I finally convinced them of that,
03:29I swore they'd have no more trouble if they'd just let me go.
03:33You must have been so frightened.
03:35I was.
03:36Thanks for being so nice to me.
03:38You know, even after everything that...
03:41The misunderstanding.
03:42David.
03:43Yeah, well, like you said, it's a misunderstanding, wasn't it?
03:45I trust him and I trust you.
03:47You can't.
03:49Trust me.
03:50What, are you going to drop me wallet in?
03:52Oh.
03:54She's alive, then?
03:55She was kidnapped.
03:56Held in a lock-up.
03:57Who, by?
03:58The guy's from the haulage firm.
04:01I was, um...
04:02I was coming back, you know, to...
04:03to get some stuff, and...
04:07I heard someone cry out, so I ran in.
04:10And I thought it was you.
04:12I thought it was Sarah.
04:15They must have panicked, I don't know, seeing her in the house.
04:19I was going to help her, but...
04:21someone hit me and put a pack over my head.
04:24She was held for days, tied up.
04:26I mean, you don't have to tell the police.
04:28Yeah, you are.
04:29No, I can't... I can't tell the police.
04:32I swore they'd have no more trouble.
04:34If the police start sniffing around, they'll come back.
04:37They'll hurt me.
04:38Or you, or... or Lily.
04:40Look, my sister was knocked unconscious.
04:42Yeah, and my sister's trying to protect us.
04:44Do you reckon?
04:45Yeah, I do.
04:45Look, her staying here is just going to bring trouble.
04:48Well, she needs us right now. I'm not arguing about this.
04:50Well, you're going to have to tell the police something,
04:52because the Jolly Green Giant's been asking questions.
04:57Will?
04:58You can down here for a second, son.
05:04Do you really think this is a good idea?
05:07I do.
05:08Definitely.
05:10Why is it?
05:11I have been thinking that, um...
05:15It'd be a good idea if you go and stay with your mind for a bit.
05:17Really?
05:18I know you've got exams, but we'll speak to the school, sort something out.
05:22Might do you good.
05:24Lots of fresh air and heather and deer.
05:29I live in a town.
05:30Whatever.
05:33Okay.
05:35Well, you'll go?
05:36Well, if you think I should.
05:39Well, I thought I'd have to do a wee bit more persuading.
05:42Might be good to get away.
05:43I'm so relieved I can finally get you out of this toxic environment.
05:46Who are you calling toxic?
05:47I don't think she meant Osma.
05:48I'm sure she doesn't meant the Megan thing.
05:50I have to get to an important work meeting in the morning,
05:53so I have to get back tonight.
05:55You okay to pack your things?
05:56Well, it's a bit quick, but I could come up tomorrow.
05:59I'm getting the train by myself.
06:01If the lad wants to spend one more night with us,
06:03we should let him.
06:05We'll get your favourite pizza.
06:07Cool.
06:08Okay, then.
06:09We'll get him on the train in the morning, right?
06:11Yeah, I will.
06:13I'm so pleased you're coming to stay with me.
06:20I've been suspended.
06:23Listen, I'm sorry, but it might be a good thing.
06:25Get away for a couple of days.
06:26I'm sorry.
06:27I'd kill to get away for a couple of days.
06:29Escape all the snide looks and whispers.
06:31Maybe we should go away together.
06:32Two social priors on the road.
06:34What are you going on about?
06:35It's kind of a joke.
06:36Neither of us have been the most popular guy on the street, right?
06:38Well, it's not funny.
06:39And people are angry at you
06:41because you chose to go up against George and send silly emails.
06:44I've done nothing wrong.
06:45Okay.
06:45I shouldn't have to stop working.
06:46I shouldn't have to go away, all right?
06:48That woman used me.
06:50I'm the one paying the price for it.
06:52Dad, Croshaw, you.
06:54You all think I'm coming apart at the seams.
06:55Well, I'm not.
06:56And I am fed up of everyone looking at me like I was either in on it
06:59or like I'm some sad sap who's losing his marbles.
07:01I don't deserve this.
07:04You're always so angry.
07:06Bertie.
07:06How about it?
07:07No!
07:10Bertie.
07:11Bertie.
07:16This is so hard for me.
07:19I know it is.
07:21I don't know how to feel.
07:24One minute I'm fuming.
07:28Next I'm relieved.
07:32I'm devastated.
07:35I think it's probably normal to feel all these things.
07:40I knew Sean was right.
07:42In some ways, I'm glad that he's not here to torment me.
07:48But then, the other day I heard a song that you would have liked
07:51and I started crying.
07:53Oh, it's hot.
07:56Crying your crocodile tears.
07:58Oh, Danielle, what do you want?
08:00I want answers.
08:03Did you kill him?
08:06So he was on a bender?
08:08Yep.
08:09What, because of what happened with him?
08:12He had the voice note.
08:14It was all just a big misunderstanding.
08:16I, er...
08:19I thought it'd be awkward me staying here
08:21and that they'd rather I left.
08:24Funny, that.
08:27I went out and I got trashed.
08:30For days.
08:31I met a bloke.
08:32What can I say?
08:33I thought I wasn't welcome here.
08:35Yeah, but when she finally heard my messages,
08:37she realised she was.
08:39Right.
08:40So how do you explain the fact that we found your blood
08:43on the coffee table?
08:44I broke a glass.
08:45I cut my hand.
08:47Right, so you didn't see anyone in the house?
08:49No one at all?
08:51Not even Sarah?
08:53I wish I had.
08:54I mean, I couldn't believe it when Shona told me
08:56she'd been attacked.
08:58So you have no idea who might have done this?
09:08The police have already interviewed me.
09:10I had nothing to do with Theo's death.
09:13If you hadn't met you,
09:14you'd still be alive.
09:16Maybe.
09:17My kids would still have a dad.
09:21I didn't want any of this.
09:24If I could bring Theo back to life, I would.
09:28Oh, you would.
09:28I would.
09:30So I could face him in court.
09:34Could have lost.
09:37Maybe you got cold feet.
09:39Thought it was easier if he was dead.
09:40I could have lost.
09:43That would have been heard.
09:46He'd have had to listen to everything that he put me through
09:49without interrupting or twisting things
09:53or making me feel like it was all my fault.
09:58Because that's what he did.
10:01All the time.
10:03It made me think I was going mad.
10:07And now I'm grieving him.
10:12It doesn't make sense.
10:18I know that you think that I'm making up
10:21and you don't believe all these things.
10:25I know you think that I'm lying.
10:29I don't.
10:35What?
10:40Since he's been gone,
10:41I've been thinking back over our relationship.
10:44What kind of man he was.
10:49That's what made me wonder if you'd snapped.
10:52Killed him.
10:57Do you believe me?
11:03Yep.
11:17It was all I thought about every waking hour for over a year.
11:25Sometimes overwhelming love.
11:29Sometimes sheer terror.
11:33Sometimes peace.
11:35Not often he was the most relaxing person to be around.
11:41No, he wasn't.
11:43He was a good dad.
11:45Especially when the kids were little.
11:48You really loved them.
11:52I knew he had a short fuse.
11:55God, sometimes we'd go at it like hammer and tongs.
11:59That's where I went wrong.
12:01What do you mean?
12:04Even too much power?
12:07No.
12:09Theo took power.
12:12He had all the power in our relationship too.
12:15He just didn't abuse it.
12:20Though actually he did make all the decisions about everything.
12:24Where we lived.
12:26How we lived.
12:27How we parented.
12:31Every time we argued, I gave in.
12:36Because secretly I was afraid of him.
12:42I mean, he never hurt me or the kids.
12:44And I didn't want to believe he was a bad man.
12:49I knew how controlling he was.
12:52I mean, could be.
12:53Because not always.
12:55No.
12:56Not always.
12:59He could be kind.
13:01You really could.
13:06Look, I am...
13:10I'm sorry you had to go through everything you did.
13:19I still miss him.
13:23No, that sounds crazy.
13:25It doesn't.
13:27I understand.
13:29What else do you understand?
13:30Well, they didn't know him like we did, did they?
13:36And I know we haven't had, well, the easiest relationship.
13:43If you ever need anything.
13:52Same to you and the kids.
13:59But Jodie didn't see anything.
14:02Apparently not.
14:04Oh, great.
14:05Well, then, there's no witness and we've no idea who attacked me.
14:09I'm as frustrated as you are.
14:10Yeah, well, you weren't the one that was knocked unconscious.
14:13The burglars that violent are probably pros, right?
14:16They would have targeted someone else.
14:18We might get a lead.
14:19I just don't want to get your hopes up.
14:21Okay.
14:23So, any more luck with Theo's murder?
14:26Nothing concrete yet.
14:29I'm really worried about Todd.
14:31You know, he's just...
14:31He's not in a good place.
14:33He was accusing all of us earlier.
14:35Was he?
14:36He might be deflecting.
14:38Oh, you don't seriously think he did it?
14:40Well, he's definitely on the list.
14:41I just don't see him.
14:42Sarah, he's got the best motive of anyone.
14:45Here you go.
14:46Anything else?
14:47Yeah, and a hot pot, please.
14:48Oh, sorry, we've not got any left.
14:50Well, we've got one, technically, but I'm saving that for Todd.
14:52How come?
14:54Because he's going through a difficult time and he needs looking after.
14:57By giving him a hot pot?
14:59I'll have you know, there is little more comforting than a Betty Turpin hot pot prepared by moi.
15:04Right, if you say so, sure.
15:06You could do with checking in on them and all.
15:08He needs his mates round him.
15:10Yeah, well, Todd's not as needy as he looks.
15:13Will you have to wear a kilt?
15:15Well, I hope not.
15:17I thought you had to in Scotland.
15:18Not all the time, sweetheart.
15:20Well, I think you should get one.
15:22They're pretty cool.
15:23Well, don't hold your breath.
15:26Look, I should be leaving.
15:27My train's in the next hour.
15:29I can't wait to see you tomorrow.
15:32Bye, Ben.
15:35Bye, Susie.
15:39Maggie, thanks for your support.
15:42It's appreciated.
15:46Son, we haven't forced you into this move, have we?
15:52You don't have to stay forever.
15:54No, no, I think you're right.
15:56Yeah, I could do with a break.
15:58You know, I'm just tired of everyone looking at me and all the kids at school taking the make.
16:03Listen, if you want me to sort anyone out, just stay.
16:08I'm going to miss you so much.
16:15He's seriously on edge.
16:17You're good for Bertie.
16:19What are we going to do?
16:20I've tried to persuade him to take a short trip somewhere, but I...
16:28Hey, I'm going to go away for a few days.
16:31And I'm staying with you, Grandad.
16:33That's the best news I've heard all day.
16:35Well, you take these rucksacks upstairs, and I'll see you very soon, yeah?
16:39See you very soon, Dad.
16:40Yeah.
16:44You're right.
16:45I need a break.
16:46Mm.
16:46I said the same thing.
16:47You were right, too.
16:48Well done, Adam.
16:49You really do need a break.
16:50Boys, please.
16:52Where are you going?
16:54Uh, B&B, in the lakes.
16:57Not fit to be around Bertie at the minute.
16:59Keep frightening him.
17:01Soften yourself.
17:01He'll be fine.
17:03We'll have a grand old time.
17:06OK.
17:07All right, I'll go get this train.
17:08Rest, relax, and recharge.
17:10Where did you get that?
17:11Was it the back of the greetings card?
17:12Stop taking everything out with me.
17:15Sorry.
17:16Head's just mashed.
17:19Right.
17:20See you in a few days.
17:22Bye, Daniel.
17:23Ta-ra.
17:24Well, that's a positive development.
17:28Let's hope so.
17:31There you go.
17:32Hundred quid enough?
17:33Yeah, that should be fine.
17:34Not like we take many cash payments these days, is it?
17:36Mm.
17:38So Will's going up to Scotland, is he?
17:39I couldn't help but over here.
17:41Ah, he's going to stay with his ma.
17:43Is that wise?
17:45Do you not think he should stay around here?
17:46Isn't that Megan still being questioned?
17:48Uh, they dropped the charges.
17:49No evidence.
17:50Oh, right.
17:52So do you think they have a relationship?
17:53I don't want to talk about it, Sean.
17:54It makes me angry.
17:56Ah, fair enough.
17:57Listen, I've got a teenage lad myself.
17:59If you want my advice...
18:00Well, no, I don't want your advice.
18:01Didn't your lad end up in Jeevy?
18:03Yeah, boy.
18:04So, your parenting skills leave a lot to be desired, don't they?
18:15I don't want to talk about it.
18:37I don't want to say fantasy, isn't that?
18:44Okay.
18:56Here we go.
19:35what's going on
19:36was it you called Theo
19:37I need to know
19:38I just did what we agreed
19:39we agreed that you would scare him off
19:41that was all
19:42yeah and that's what I did
19:42I smashed up his van
19:43I didn't even see him
19:44I'd have to get the feeling
19:45that you're lying
19:47well maybe
19:48you're the one that's lying
19:51maybe he wanted me to scare him off
19:52to put myself in the frame
19:53that's ridiculous
19:53is it?
19:55why would I be here
19:55asking if you'd done it?
19:56because you think there's CCTV
19:57getting all this on tape
19:58don't be stupid
20:01I don't think we should be
20:01speaking to each other right now
20:05fair enough
20:34what you looks like
20:42it's enough because you know
20:44if you're lying to me
